Scalper Posted May 11, 2021 Author Share Posted May 11, 2021 Still have to wire the lights and fb antenna. Used pulled sprue instead of the chromed kit one. Taillights to do already have the black trim on them. But debating if I should chrome them or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scalper Posted December 13, 2021 Author Share Posted December 13, 2021 Been kinda in a slump. Back at it. Plow hardware getting installed. Plow looking rough. Will do some more weathering on it. Here’s how she sits now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hct728(Bob) Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 That plow looks nasty, as it should! I built just the plow part a while back for use with a Jeep, but... then my Ford Louisville Snow Plow kit was supposed to be done for LAST winter...nice to see that SOMEONE can resurrect a stalled project! Weathering is fun, I need to get back to it, thanks for spurring my memory! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scalper Posted December 15, 2021 Author Share Posted December 15, 2021 Decided to do the mirrors like Tom suggested also saw a few others that where done like this. Much easier less stress. sitting waiting for all the glue to dry. Plow attached 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scalper Posted December 20, 2021 Author Share Posted December 20, 2021 Bucket will be filled with salt. Added fire extinguisher. Now the plow. Looks bare. Does not look right. Missing hydrolic ram ? Chains. Going to have to find something to use for chains. That could take a while now since we are heading towards another lockdown. Pic as she sits now. thanks for looking all comments welcomed.

Pic as she sits now. thanks for looking all comments welcomed. That is supposed to be a Western Unimount plow I believe. So the smaller cylinder on the right in the picture is the hydraulic cylinder. There should be one chain going from the arm above it down to the plow frame. You can get chain in the jewelry making section at Micheals or a hobby shop that has military stuff. Video on identifying their systems here. Edit: Oh…and the truck looks great Andre! https://youtu.be/b_DRDRuzUPc Edited December 21, 2021 by NOBLNG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
